Early inhabitants of New Zealand who were supplanted and eventually all but obliterated by Maori, through cannibalism and genocide. A tall, peaceful, and very dark-skinned race of people, they are often listed as Polynesian, but in fact originated in South America. They were superb gardeners who grew the kumara, or sweet potato, which was a native of their South American homeland, and taught its cultivation to the later arriving Maori. What remains of their geneology survives today on the Chatham Islands, to where they were driven from the New Zealand mainland islands, and to where Maori pursued and attempted to annihilate them.
